Does anyone else think it inappropriate when peacocks are roaring and turtles to snarling?

Hell yea! We need form-specific socials and command socials form to specify what socials are not for every form.

I'd put that gobble example in two socials.

My version of your example:

Wild turkey only social(or other gobbling bird forms):

social: Gobble

Untargeted:
You see: You gobble.
Others see: A wild turkey gobbles.
Targeted:
You see: You gobble to Target.
Others see: A wild turkey gobbles to Target.
Target sees: A wild turkey gobbles to you.

Social: Gobblecharge

Acts more or less like you described, spelled with more correct english(I think it's charge at target, charge target sounds like invoker spell charge weapon ). This is also applicable to my gobble social, if I have chosen a wrong preposition.

Also, for felines:

Social: Purr

You purr.
A cat purrs.
A proud lion purrs.

Social meow.

You meow.
A cat meows.

For horses:

Social: Neigh

You neigh.
You neigh to target.
A wild mustang neighs.
A wild mustang neighs to target.
A wild mustang neighs to you.

Social neighnervous

You neigh nervously.
A wild mustang neighs nervously.

The point here is that there is a need for a simple basic social and then there can be variations as other socials. Your gobble was a variation. Basic gobble, and then the social to run aroung gobbling. Shifters have no emotes, which is why there is need for a number of form-specific socials. I've often yearned for simple basic socials without the flavour the actual social with same name has.

The contest idea was very good, IMHO.
